Love, Sex, Magic

So upon our arrival, my uncle gave me a cell phone to use (in case I get abducted, or an air conditioning unit falls on my head, per my dad's impressions of Taiwan's top 2 hazards).  The phone is set to be in Chinese, naturally, but the problem was that he didn't know how to change the settings to be in English.  Seeing that I can't read more than 10 words of Chinese, we gave up until we found someone bilingual, and had just been using the phone in the Chinese setting, blindly pushing buttons and hoping that we called the right person (not exactly what happened... a lot of accidental calls were made).

Anyway, at lunch yesterday with my Aunt-in-law and her sister who Laura and I just met, we received a text message reading "Sunny! (Chinese character, chinese character chinese character etc., etc., etc.)"  I showed it to my aunts in case it was important and I needed to know what it said.  They both looked at it and frowned disapprovingly... "Have you been doing anything bad on that phone?" (No, I had just got it the day before, I hadn't had time to do anything bad!) "Then your UNCLE has been doing bad things on that phone!!"  This would be feasible, as his surname is Sun, and who knows what nicknames his friends give him?...

Anyway, they wouldn't say what the message said, but we assumed that it was some sort of lewd advertisement.  We met up with Bob later on in the day, at which point the mystery was solved.....  He had sent me a text but just messed with keys in Chinese to send to me.  Apparently he has quite the talent for naughty words, because as my aunts so eloquently put it, "There is a SEX!  And a LOVE!" (In the text...)

So anyway, for Bob "Moral Mountain "Hsia ....... Button mashing WIN!!!

oh yeah.  it's consistently 95% humidity all over this entire island.  Never have I ever sweated so profusely and consistently as I have this week.  Ick.
